SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 733,332, dated. July 7,1903.

Application iilecl March 4, 1903.

'o @ZZ whom, it muy concer-72,:

Be it known that I, JOHN NUTRY, a citizen of the United States, residingin Brooklyn borough, city and State of New York, have in- Vented a newand useful Way of Making Boxes of Metal, of which the following is aspecification.

The object of this invention is to make a substantial and ornamental boxat a low cost.

The accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, show, in*

Figure l, a plan of the sheet of metal from which the box is formed.Fig.'2 is a section of the box complete.

The shape of the blank sheet from which live sides of the box are formedis in the form of a cross, with perforations a" CL for placing thehandle, a2 for the entrance for money, and a3 for rivets. The dottedlines in Fig. l show where the metal is bent so that the ends and sidescome together to form the box, the bent corners being rounded inbending.

In Fig. 2, B B are lining-pieces bent to fit and riveted to the ends andsides of A to iirmly join the edges and form the corners ofthe box. C isa strip of metal riveted to the sides of the box, doubling the thicknessof the edges.

Serial No. 146,116. (No model.)

E is the bottom or sixth side, hinged at P to the lining-pieces B. D isa lug riveted to the opposite end from the hinges, forming a stop forthe bottom to rest on when closed and also a flange to hold the bolt ofthe lock L. H is the handle, held in place by loops clenched in holes a'a. K is a cover, of leather, textile fabric, or Celluloid, drawn ormolded over the top and sides of box, which can be turned inside atbottom edges, as shown at K.

This construction makes a strong, safe, and ornamental box suitable forkeeping money or other valuables.

What I claim as a new article of manufacture, and' desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s-

A metallic box, formed from a cross-shaped blank, bent to form the top,ends and sides of the box, the ends and sides being riveted tolining-pieces reaching from side to side and having a hinged bottom toclose into the ends and sides, substantially as shown and described.
